are they going on and off or just look like the bulb is shaking? mine were vibrating but i didnt use the retaining spring/nut thing that pressed the halogen bulbs in the light and held them steady. after some assessing i realized there was a way to get this retainer to hold my hid in place and it stopped the shaking or flickering if this is what you are referring to.

these arent the ones for an f150 but this is what i'm talking about i hope it gives you and idea of what im talking about
